“…Finally, residual material that remains without decomposing corresponds to ashes and fixed carbon (see values in Table 1). These results are consistent with those reported by other authors for pine sawdust and rice husks [41,42] .…”

<p>Pyrolysis and gasification are thermal treatment processes using biomass to produce biofuels that can replace fossil fuels in industrial boilers and furnaces. This paper discusses the potential utilization of four types of residual biomass highly produced in the Argentina Northeast (NEA) region, i.e., rice husk, an agricultural waste rich in cotton husk, carob sawdust, and spent red quebracho sawdust, as raw material. Pyrolysis liquid product yields were 34–51 wt% and char yields were 29–40 wt%; tar represented 16–23 wt%. For gasification, gas yields were between 45.6 wt% and 65.7 wt%; as for tar, it represented 2.4–14.1 wt% of initial biomass, and char yields were 31.4–40.3 wt%. Characterization of all products was performed to clarify their potential applications. Bio-oils, i.e., aqueous fractions of pyrolysis liquid products, have high water content (77–88 wt%), that is why they have lower density and viscosity than tars, oil fractions of pyrolysis liquids. However, chemical stability of bio-oils may vary, and their heating values are much lower than the heating values from tars. Based on these, it is possible to concluded that tar is the product with increased added value and higher energy properties. Efficiency of gasification and heating values of the gases obtained were high for waste rich in cotton husk and spent red quebracho sawdust, suggesting a good potential for the utilization in gasification processes. Additionally, char composition and properties for all biomasses, from both process, show that it is feasible to use them in several new applications.<strong></strong></p>

An updated comprehensive checklist of polychaete species, which have been recorded from Malaysian waters, is provided, with their geographic distributions and the research history for them. A total of 57 species belonging to 30 families have been reported since the early 1870s, with Nereididae as the most dominant family with ten species; however, more than half of the total are questionable species in the country. Despite the increased efforts of polychaete studies in the past decade, the taxonomic endeavour of discovering and describing species in the country could be higher. Malaysian polychaetes were mostly recorded from Peninsular Malaysia, whereas very few were from Borneo Island. Most previously recorded species were associated with intertidal and estuarine habitats and a few were found in the subtidal and freshwater environments. We stress the need for urgent research on this biologically, ecologically and culturally relevant taxonomic group as the species accumulation curve grows exponentially in this megadiverse country. The current checklist has been updated since the previous one in 2013. Many species previously listed were judged as doubtful and not taxonomically reliable.
